Evidence of Absence

Evidence of Absence at DEATH BE KIND in an exhibition of works where death is digested via ghastly consumption, melancholic digestion, and prodigious excretion. Catherine Bell triggers feelings of abstract abhorrence by filling the gallery space with a sea of thousands of hand-made pellets of rat shit, which the audience is compelled to pass through.

Through a glass darkly

The sacred and the sublime are concepts that become possible through the attempt to come to terms with what is confronting, disturbing or difficult to represent. The beauty found within suffering fills the gap between the uttered and the unutterable, between knowledge and articulation and between seeing and believing. Through a glass darkly originates in Corinthians 13 in the Old Testament Bible.

It's about time

It's about time presents the work of Alex Gawronski, Mark Hislop and Elvis Richardson. Each of these artists returns to consider in a fairly specific way, the original evocativeness of the gallery title Death be Kind. It's about time is familiar as an exclamation upon arrival that implies an impatient wait.

MONUMENTAL EFFECT

The works in MONUMENTAL EFFECT occupy the space on top of twenty-six grey plinth/stelae arranged in a skewed grid formation in the gallery space. Here the miniature reconfigures the monumental in intimate personal scale.

Paradise is where I am

“… paradise is where I am” is the final line of the poem The Worldly One by Voltaire (1736) and the title of this exhibition that brings together three distinct bodies of work that each touch upon experiences of anticipation, fear and ones own mortality.

On life after death

Martha Mcdonald, Patrick Pound, Elizabeth Pulie. On life after death is an exhibition about imagining the unseeable. The title comes from a book by psychiatrist Elizabeth Kubler Ross published in 1991, in which she examines cases of near death experiences and suggests there is no such thing as death.

Bela Lugosi's dead

For the second curated exhibition of DEATH BE KIND Carla Cescon (Sydney), Tony Garifalakis (Melbourne) and Simon Scheuerle (Canberra) infuse the gallery spaces with a fearful darkness and a clinging grasp at disparate beliefs creating a new aesthetic experience of the horror film. Suspend your disbelief in this little shop of horrors where things are not always as they seem.
